Secretary– (Old Business)

• We will purchase “shot club” t-shirts for successful participants. Quantity will be determined by those that complete it. (Guessing about 20). Design is complete. All is ready, we just need a count and size. Mrs. Shimek will be posting a note for those who participated to send in their sheets along with size shirts by mid October. We will order at the next Dad’s meeting. Relatively low cost shirts (cotton, single color printing)  handed out during Catholic Schools Week Still waiting on count.
• The Board will be meeting to review roles and responsibilities and will report back.
• Stock is getting low on a couple sizes of “dad’s” t-shirts. Proposal is to order more when we order the shirts for the kids “shot club”. Discuss to make sure it is a worthwhile purchase. The consensus was this is a worthwhile expense.

President- (New Business)
